Key Magic injuries: Tobias Harris, Frye’s cousin, has not played this season due to a sprained ankle. Kyle O’Quinn has missed the past three games with a sprained ankle. Glen Davis returned to action Saturday night.

* Unless you like the Suns chances of beating the NBA champions in a third road game over four nights, today’s game in Orlando is the Suns’ chance at a winning road trip.

The Suns are catching the Magic on the second night of a back-to-back after Orlandolost by two Saturday night at Miami with Victor Oladipo and Arron Afflalo missing shots to tie at the end.

Glen Davis, in his first game since breaking his foot in January, posted 20 points off the bench and made a game-tying 3-pointer with 15 seconds to go. LeBron James, the Suns’ Monday night problem, then hit the game-winning jump shot.

Orlando played exceptionally well for a 55-39 halftime lead against Miami with 51 percent shooting and a hot E’Twuan Moore but wound up with their sixth loss in the past seven games.

The Magic is 4-3 at home this season.

Orlando has gone with the above three-guard starting lineup in the past two games as coach Jacque Vaughn tries to turn Oladipo into a point guard. He has averaged 12.8 points, 3.3 assists and 4.1 turnovers to challenge Michael Carter-Williams as the top rookie.

Afflalo is 11th in the league in scoring at 22.1 points per game and has done it efficiently as a guard who shoots 49 percent from the field and chips in 4.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. P.J. Tucker gets that assignment.

Nikola Vucevic averages a double-double with 14.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

* Suns guard Eric Bledsoe participated in some of Saturday’s practice in Orlando but still was limping and said the week-old shin bruise still hurts whenever he pushes off his foot, even to walk. With a negative X-ray, the primary issue for Bledsoe has been stiffness. At Charlotte on Friday night, he tested it out to see if he could even go through warm-ups and decided it was too painful to try that. The Suns have gone 1-2 in the games he missed. Bledsoe was averaging team highs for points (20.4) and assists (6.8) before suffering the injury last Sunday.

If Bledsoe is unable to play again – and it sure looks like it – Gerald Green will start for the eighth time in the past 10 games. The Suns are 4-3 with Green starting. He is averaging 17.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in his starts.

Rookie center Alex Len will be a game-time decision because of the ankle soreness that prompted him to pull himself out of Wednesday night’s game at halftime.

* Goran Dragic has made at least six turnovers in two of his past three games. He had six Friday night in Charlotte and seven Tuesday night in Sacramento.

He had one six-turnover game during all of last season and only eight over the previous four seasons.

* Tucker returned to third place in the NBA for 3-point percentage after making all three of his attempts Friday night at Charlotte. Tucker has scored 29 points over the past five quarters, including the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s home loss to Sacramento.

* Fortunately for Miles Plumlee, he does not qualify for free throw percentage rankings. Otherwise, he would be the worst free throw shooter in the NBA. Maybe he is unofficially anyway. Plumlee has gone 12 for 32 (37.5 percent) at the line this season. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is the qualified worst free throw shooter at 41.6 percent but you expect that from him.

Plumlee did not have a good reputation as a shooter in coming to Phoenix but his progress with his face-up shot makes extreme free-throw struggles surprising. It is going to make for some situational substituting at the end of tight games to avoid teams fouling him.

* The Suns have lost their past five meetings with Orlando and have not won in Orlando since November 2007.

* Portland is 12-1 since the Suns beat the Trail Blazers on opening night. Phoenix even had several chances to get a second win against the Blazers in Portland. The Suns’ other five wins have come against teams that are .500 or worse.

* The last word goes to Suns coach Jeff Hornacek on Gerald Green: “He’s not a guy who has problems about taking shots. Sometimes, you have to live with some of the shots he takes but he can make some of those crazy shots too so you kind of just let him go. He’s kind of our Jamal Crawford-type guy. You like to see him be that aggressive because he’s one of the guys on this team that can put up points in bunches.”
